Chapter 788: Guerrillas Behind Enemy Lines
In the hinterland of the Central Continent Immortal League, since Tang Shuwen ordered the expansion of the production of low-level resources, the various sects have recruited scattered cultivators to cultivate spiritual rice and low-level spiritual medicines, otherwise their remaining men and horses alone will not be enough.
Lingjing Mountain is one of them, Lingjing Mountain is the mountain gate of the Lingjing Sect, there is one fifth-order spiritual vein and three fourth-order spiritual veins in the mountain gate, but the whole sect cultivates to the highest spiritual light period, and it belongs to the force that does not enter the stream.
Lingjing Mountain responded to the call of the Immortal League, and there were more than 13,000 people in the whole sect, and 10,000 people followed the Immortal League to the northern front, leaving only more than 3,000 people to guard the mountain gate.
More than 3,000 people can't plant 60,000 acres of spiritual fields in the whole sect at all, so Lingjing Mountain can only close the mountain gate, and more than 2,000 people guard hundreds of miles of land in the core area of the sect, as for the 50,000 acres of spiritual fields outside the mountain gate, they mainly rely on recruiting loose cultivators to cultivate, and there are more than 800 people in Lingjing Mountain to supervise.
The profits of Lingmi and low-level elixirs are not high, and in the past, even casual cultivators mostly looked down on this kind of work, but since the outbreak of the war, ninety percent of casual cultivators have lost their jobs and have no place to live, so even Lingzhifu has become extremely sought-after.
If it is cultivating spiritual rice, a low-level monk can probably take care of fifty acres of spiritual field, and if it is a low-level elixir, a low-level monk can only take care of about ten to fifteen acres.
The 10,000 acres of land in the core area of Lingjing Mountain are all used to grow elixirs, while the outer 50,000 acres are used to grow spiritual rice, and Lingjing Mountain has recruited a total of 1,000 low-level monks.
"Lingjing Mountain is really a special black heart, fifty acres for one person, only one hundred pieces of Xuanjing a year, the food is the same as a dog, there is no mystery left, and I dare not meditate at night"
In the monk's dwelling, one of the monks complained, and the rest of the monks looked up, and then lowered their heads to eat, not daring to talk, and the monk said a few words, and when no one answered, he said no more.
As night fell, most of the 1,000 weary monks fell asleep, but a few of them sneaked up and met together.
"I've seen it, no one, the monks of Lingjing Mountain are the same as the uncle, they won't come to inspect"
"Yes, except for the high-level leaders of Lingjing Mountain who come out to inspect, they will make a show, and the rest of the time they don't care at all, they are all uncles under the mountain."
"I also want to be an uncle, when will this task end, it's been two months, I can't help it"
A monk replied that they were originally Nanzhou monks, and they were drawn out by Lin Xiao and went deep behind enemy lines, and then they entered Lingjing Mountain as Lingzhifu under the guidance of the night owl, and it has been two months.
They have a deep grudge against the monks of Lingjing Mountain, because the monks of Lingjing Mountain do not treat loose cultivation as people at all, one person has to take care of fifty acres of spiritual land, and only gives one hundred Xuanjing a year, and the place where they live is also very poor, they are all temporary wooden houses, and all the food and drink are sent by the mortal villages and towns they vassal.
Not only that, but their attitude is also extremely poor, if a monk quits halfway, the previous work is equivalent to doing it in vain, the salary is not paid at all, and they are often beaten and scolded, if it is not for the desperate casual cultivation, they will not suffer this kind of anger at all.
"It's still early, the spiritual rice is planted for ten months to mature, one season a year, and now it is only six months of planting, at least it will take another four months, but this time we will definitely be able to complete the task, the Lingjing Mountain monks regard the scattered cultivation as pigs and dogs, and everyone is resentful, and when the spiritual rice is harvested, as long as someone raises his arm and waves, the crowd echoes, we not only want to destroy the enemy's production of spiritual rice, but also snatch these spiritual rice back, the Lord of the Lin League takes us very well, when the time comes, we not only have the reward of the task, we can at least divide three percent of these spiritual rice, if all the 50,000 acres of spiritual rice are snatched, it is tens of millions of catties of spiritual rice, at the current price, worth millions of Xuanjing, we can also take hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing rewards"
"Hundreds of thousands of Xuanjing, tsk, ten of us, isn't it that one person can take tens of thousands of Xuanjing, which is enough for my ten years of cultivation."
"Boss, tens of millions of catties of spiritual rice, how can we take it away?"
"Yes, boss, I stole a few storage bags, but the ten of us can't hold 50,000 catties combined."
"Hehe, what are you afraid of, when the Lingmi is about to mature, I will contact the above, and when the time comes, there will naturally be a large team of people to respond, are you still afraid that you won't be able to take it away, is there still a shortage of storage bags in our Nanzhou army?"
"Also, then we will continue to sow discord and deepen the resentment of Sanxiu against Lingjing Mountain"
"Well, be careful, there are a few thorns in the loose cultivation, we just let them come out, in addition, we have to buy some loose cultivation, the better we perform, the more rewards the Lord of the Lin Alliance, if the combat merits are enough, I want to change to a Kaifu Dan, the Kaifu Dan of the Nanzhou Alliance is much cheaper than my home"
"I also want a Kaifu Dan, at home, I'm not a descendant, it's not my turn at all, exchanging my military exploits is the only chance, I'm thirty years old this year, if I don't change it, I don't have a chance"
"Okay, let's all work hard, this is our opportunity, we must seize it"
"Understand, then go, lest you be discovered"
"The meeting was adjourned, and the meeting in the next three days was changed to a five-day meeting"
The ten monks nodded, and soon walked back to their lodgings, turning their heads to sleep.
A team like Lingjing Mountain, there are still a lot of people in the hinterland of the Immortal League, Lin Xiao sent a total of about 30,000 people, 30,000 people are integrated into tens of millions of loose cultivation, it is not obvious at all, although the Immortal League has cracked a few teams, but it can't dig deep, if all the scattered cultivation is expelled, then these hundreds of millions of acres of spiritual land will not be planted.
Just when the monks of Lingjing Mountain were working hard, in a spiritual mountain of the Immortal League, the fire was burning, and hundreds of monks were desperately fighting the fire, but the area of the fire was too large, and they could only watch the mountain of Linggu burn without the help of high-level monks.
Not every team of people can endure the harvest in the Spirit Valley, many teams quickly carried out destruction after integrating into the scattered cultivation team, the means are not limited to fire prevention, poisoning, cultivating insect pests, etc., this method is extremely effective, once it is used, it can destroy thousands of acres of spiritual fields casually.
However, the cost is also large, once exposed, as long as you don't escape on the spot, it will be difficult to escape, the war dead abound, and the destruction of this spiritual mountain will also make the rest of the spiritual mountains vigilant and scourge teammates.
Night Stalkers are deeply disgusted by this practice, because for them, it is too untechnical, and if the Night Stalkers do these things, they must think about all the processes, destroy, lurk, escape, and after repeated deductions, make sure that they can complete the task and protect themselves.
It's a pity that the training time of these centaurs is too short, and the vast majority of them do not have this level, so they can only use the most brutal means to sabotage.
Bad news has been repeatedly reported from various spiritual mountains in the hinterland of the Immortal League, and the Immortal Alliance has also immediately taken many strategies, sending intelligence personnel to go deep into the scattered cultivation, and each spiritual mountain has also strengthened its defense.
For this reason, the night owl once again changed its strategy, and the night owl found a lot of ambitious people from the scattered cultivation, gave them support, and let them pull up some teams to directly carry out bandit work and plunder all places.
When these robbers, with the help of night owls, broke through several spiritual mountains and Fang City, a large number of scattered cultivators immediately took the initiative to join, and there was no need to coerce them at all.
A large number of thieves and robbers appeared, which made the security in the hinterland of the Xianmeng deteriorate rapidly, and the Xianmeng had to dispatch people to suppress the bandits.
The night owls often keep some of these backbones and bring them to the territory of the Shenmu Sect to train them, and after the training, they will once again enter the hinterland of the Immortal League and recruit troops.
As long as the war is not over, and many scattered cultivators still have no place to live, then the bandits will not disappear, and these returning robbers are often able to recruit more people, so they have entered a vicious circle, the people of the Immortal Alliance are exhausted, and the scattered cultivators are getting more and more resentful towards them, and they consume more and more resources.
This kind of guerrilla tactics behind enemy lines made the Immortal League tired of dealing with it, and they had no experience to deal with this kind of thing at all, so they could only order the Lingshan in various places to strengthen their vigilance.
At the same time, they also did the same, and they also copied this kind of banditry in the hinterland of the Five Continents Alliance, but it was second only to the cultivation of the north, because in these places in the Southern Continent, the sect family still firmly controlled all the situations.
However, the Immortal Alliance's methods soon went bankrupt, because the Five Continents Alliance's control over the territory was stronger than that of the Immortal Alliance, and the night owls had long been prepared for this, so they incorporated a group of bandit backbones and transferred them to the hinterland of the Five Continents Alliance, and used the bandits' Fang Market to deal with the bandits, with excellent results.
The Immortal League also quickly learned this lesson, and also recruited some bandits on their own territory, and they led the team to suppress the bandits, and the way the two sides fought constantly changed.
The strong learning ability of the Immortal Alliance made Lin Xiao speechless, Lin Xiao also wanted to meet some mentally retarded opponents, but unfortunately his enemies were not mentally retarded at all, but extremely smart, with strong learning ability and digestion ability, but whenever there were any new measures in the Five Continents Alliance, they would immediately learn it, as long as they could use it, they would implement it immediately, and the level was rapidly improving.
After thinking about it, Lin Xiao decided that most of the future actions would no longer carry out conspiracy and trickery, but would carry out yang conspiracy, because only yang conspiracy is irresistible, and conspiracy and intrigue will never be on the table.
After Lin Xiao made up his mind, the first thing he did was to vigorously improve the treatment of loose cultivators, in the Immortal League, a low-level monk took care of fifty acres of spiritual land, and there were only one hundred Xuanjing a year, Lin Xiao directly doubled the treatment, giving two hundred yuan a year, and publicized it loudly.
This meal made the scattered cultivators in the territory of the Immortal League unable to sit still, and countless scattered cultivators began to enter the territory of the Shenmu Sect to find work, and even caused some Lingshan to have insufficient manpower, and they couldn't even recruit casual cultivators, so they could only follow Lin Xiao to improve their treatment, so that their costs increased significantly, and the Five Continents Alliance entered the stage of fighting for consumption.
